Your liver works hard regardless but you can help it along, especially on days when the workload is heavy, by choosing nutrient-rich foods and light meals full of vegetables with some fruit. 1. YOUR BASAL LIVER FUNCTION IS KEY. Your liver filters your blood to clean it around 1400 times a day pushing toxins through to the kidneys, skin and lower intestines. If there is cleaning that can't be finished up during the afternoon or evening then your liver will need to do it while you sleep. If there's still cleaning to be done when you wake up then you'll feel noticeably lethargic. 2. TOXINS QUICKLY CAUSE TIREDNESS Medicines, air pollution, smoking and smoke, heavy metals, preservatives, cosmetics, artificial sweeteners and colourants, are all toxins to the body and often cause the brain to feel tired. 3. THE LIVER NEEDS NUTRIENTS TO EXPEL USED MEDICINES The liver needs extra nutrients, water and vitamins to clean a heavier than normal workload and expel the breakdown products. What it can't expel immediately it must hold and store for longer periods. 4. THE LIVER WORKS WITH OTHER ORGANS When your liver is working well then other organs likely work better too. Digestive problems, stomach cramps, water retention, headaches, skin rashes, cellulite, your BMI, even a poor appetite, are all immediately connected to your liver function.
